Garden Blackcap

Monday 6 December 2010

Title says it all really - a female Blackcap taking a shower beside a splashing Blackbird. Garden was full of birds, most of which were Goldfinches but with a smattering of Green and Chaff finches, Blue and great Tit, Dunnock, Starling, Collared Dove, Woodpigeon and Robin. Popped into Blakes to stock up on the sunflower hearts but they had run out - catastrophe! I had to buy black sunflower instead so it looks like I shall return to molehills made of seed husks shortly. Luckily Blakes are expecting a delivery later this week but, apparently the country has run out of peanuts!
